Amber Pacific have returned after an 11-year silence with their album All In, a record that threads together the band’s storied past and uncertain future in pop-punk. With over 200K albums sold worldwide and tens of millions of streams collected, the Pacific Northwest outfit carved its path during a period marked by the MySpace era and Warped Tour days.
The album’s 12 tracks confront the band’s journey from their debut, The Possibility & The Promise, two decades ago to the Billboard 200 success of 2007’s Truth in Sincerity, which reached #64. All In is not just another reunion; it is an intentional return to form.
As guitarist and vocalist Will Nutter explains, “A culmination of 20+ years of being in a band, believing in ourselves when no one else would, sharing this unbreakable bond we have as brothers. Reflecting on the touring, the struggles, and ultimately our survival. This is not a capstone, it’s a continuation of our story, and one we hope to continue writing as we enter our fifth album cycle. We’re ALL IN and can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

The record is built around the blend of nostalgia and forward-thinking.
Lyrical themes navigate from the reminiscence of “Young & Reckless” to the optimistic strains of “Meant To Be.” An anthem like “SOS,” featuring Tony Lovato of Mest, contrasts with the raw sentiment of “Afloat.” Vocalist Matt Young adds, “This is a new chapter for our band and we feel like we’re on the edge of something incredible, after spending months in Nashville with Sean Rogers and his team. This one is made for the AP faithful, whilst also welcoming new fans to the world of Amber Pacific.”
Rather than chasing trends, the band has opted for a record that encapsulates familiar hooks and honest storytelling—a balance that has always resonated with their long-time fans and those discovering their music for the first time. All In stands as both a celebration of past achievements and a deliberate step into a future that remains uncharted yet hopeful.
